@KievanTiger So are you saying the other 11 pieces in Rachmaninoff's book of Transcriptions are his, but this one is not, or are all 12 pieces forgeries?
Do you have a link to what you claim is Rachmaninoff's true version or didn't he do one?
Are you saying he didn't record any of the 35 piano rolls that have been documented, or only this one? I have Disklavier versions of all 35 pieces of his performances.
How far do you want to take this?

@KievanTiger OK, I'll have to concede that everyone else is wrong. It must be nice to be the only one who's right.

@KievanTiger If you read my comment, you'd realize Wikipedia was just one of 3 sources verifying this version. Do you dispute the other two? Is one out of three "way too much"?
This isn't rachmaninoff's version -.-

@10UnderScore10: If you're right, then Wikipedia, Warner Bros. Publications, and the publishers of Immortal Pianists Series are all wrong.
As stated in the description above, this performance was recorded by Rachmaninoff on an Ampico reproducing piano. It is note-for-note the same as the version in Warner Bros. book of Rachmaninoff's transcriptions.
A full description of Rachmaninoff's piano roll work is on his Wikipedia page in the paragraph beginning "From 1919 he made 35 piano rolls..."

@klik13 Wow, very observant. I never noticed that. Well, it's Rachmaninoff's own arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov's piece. I guess if he wanted to change it on the fly, he can. Nice ears.
